bishop GALLOWAY, of the Southern
Methodist Church, and JEFF DAVIS are
enlivening the dull monotony of politics
down South by INDUCING in a spicy
newspaper correspondence on the tenn
perance question. The bishop thought
it was very wicked for JEFF to write
that letter which is thought to have de-
feated prohibition in Texas, and he pub
liShed an open letter taking the unre-
constructed old rebel to task for inter-
fering in American politics when he
himself was not an American citizen.
JEFF pays no attention to the fling at
him about his intermeddling propensi-
ties, but wadeS right into the prohibit
ton issue with all the vim that charac-
teriZed his discussions when he was an
American citizen and had many fOren-
sic tilt on the floor of the United States
senate chamber. He does not oppose
prohibition per Sc, he only autagonizes
the modern methods of attempting to
enforce prohibition. His doctrine is
that every man should be his own pro-
hibitionist. He thinks that this is a bet
ter plan than attempting to regenerate
mans moral nature by legislative en-
actmentS.

PAYS HIS OWN WAY.

The president is very evidently not a
deadhead. He has never been inclined
toward the acceptance of favors at the
hands of monopolistic corporations, and
he evidently doesn't intend to change
his mind at this late day. No doubt
every railroad in the country would be
more than glad to pass the president
over their lines should he desire to ex-
tend his forthcoming trip, but that isn't
the presidents style.
He intends to pay his own way wher-
ever he goes, and to pay it handsomely.
His journey through the West will cost
President CLEVELAND no less than s1O.-
GOO, but it will be money well spent. He
will learn good deal more than he per-
hapS realizes, and he will discover at
the conclusion of his journey that the
store of information acquired and the
cordial reception given him by the peo-
pie were worth good many times the
cost Of his tour.
The people have had frequent occa-
sion to admire the independence of the
presidents character, and they will find
additional cause for commentator in
his resolution to allow no one but him
self to bear the transportation expenses

CARDINAL GIBBONS.
He is Coming West snd Will Visit
St. Paul.


BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 26.-Cardinal
Gibbons, accompanied by Rev. DR.. p. l..
Chapelle, of Washington, left Baltimore
at 1O:45 this morning on the Pennsyl-
vania road for the West. Portland,
Ore.. is the cardinals objective point,
where he will confer the pallium upon
upon Archbishop Gross, obut he will
stop en- route at Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul.
Cardinal Gibbons will not return until
ne has completed somewhat extensive
trip throughout the West. The special
object of his journey is to center the
Pallium upon Archbishop Gross, of
Portland, Ore. His eminence is ex-
pected to reach Chicago tomorrow, and
will remain in the city as the guest
of Archbishop Feehan for a
few days., thence going to Mil
'Waukee, where he will be received
by Archbishop Heiss and remain day
or two before resuming his journey. At
st. Paul the cardinal will be the guest
OF Bishop Ireland and then continue his
journey on to the far West. He will
return according to existing arrange
mentS on the Central Pacific road after
visiting Archbishop Reardon at San
francisco, and while on his homeward
journey, His Eminence will remain for
a few days at St. Louis as the guest of
Archbishop Kensick, and at Gin
cinnati with Archbishop Elder.
The cardinal will be accompa-
MED throughout the journey by the
Rev. P. L. Chapelle, rector of ST. Mat
thews, Washington, d. G. The in
vestiture of Archbishop Gross with the
Sacred Pallium, giving him archepis-
copal authority and power, one of the
most imposing ceremonies of the Cath
olic church is the sequence of his recent
promotion to the vacancy caused by the
resignation of the late Archbishop
Seghers, before he resumed the fatal
dians by whom he was lately murdered.

THE DIVORCE RECORD.

Chicago has become notorious for
the ease and celebrity with which the
courts of that city grant divorces, and
she quite eclipsed her own disgraceful
record one day last week, when during a
single days session of the court los di-
vOrees were granted.
The fact is that not only in Illinois but
in almost every state of the Union the
FACILITIES for obtaining divorce are alto
4ether too easy. Where family troubles
5exist which, were the procuring of di-
cNorces made more difficult, would be
Smoothe !, the divorce court is ap-
pealed to ,,s difording immediate relief,
and one more family is disorganized.
There ought to be a.general divorce law,
just as there should be general law
relating to the granting of marriage Ii
cenSes, obtaining in all the states. and
it should be made so stringent that di-
yorces would be granted only for the
most imperative reasons, perhaps for
one reason alone.
, Difficulties short of actual criminality
can be overcome, and if an occasional
instance should exist where the refusal
of divorce would be hardship to
either party concerned, the good result
ing to society generally would counter
balance any individual suffering.

DECLINE OF FLUNKEYIsM.

There has been an intolerable exhibit
ton OF Anglomania in this country for
the last few years. The craze among
the wealthy classes for aping the Eng
hsh nobility and copying after the Gus
toms Of the English aristoeracy really
threatened danger to our American in
situations. 1t was because of this menace
to the purity and simplicity of our
American social life that the newspapers
have done good thing in tearing the
mask from the English nobility and
showing the inner corruption of English
arlstocratic society. The exposure has
had the good effect of curing the craze.
Anglomania is not so prevalent in this
country as it was before the Pail Mall
Gazette inangurated its crusade and the
American press followed it up with ex-
poSuTes of the HUGHEs-HALLETr. the
LoNsDALE and the MARLBOROUGH in
cidents. 1t was not pleasant thing for
even The American newspapers to do.
There is no reason why Ameri-
cans should delight over the disadvan-
tageous style in which Englandis posing

Domestic Tragedy in Paris.
Ondon Te1epraph

London Telegraph.
A very exciting drama was enacted
recently at a house in the Rue Haxo.
Its occupant, a wealthy manufacturer,
had married his daughter to the son of
a large land owner living in the Rue de
Tournelles. He had had great difficulty
in inducing the girl to consent to the
match, for the reason that, unknown to
her father, she had for two years been
carrying on a desperate Irritation with
his cashier. Nor did the marriage put
an end to the intrigue. On the afternoon
after the wedding the bride met her
lover, and almost daily accompanied
him to small hotel in the Rue de Belle
vile. The lady always declared that
she had merely gone out to see her
father, but on Monday something in her
manner led her husband to entertain
suspicious as to her conduct and yeSter-
day afternoon when she left him he fol-
lowed her. She proceeded to her faith
er'S house, and finding that he was not
at home, went into the Office where the
cashier was sitting alone. Soon after
ward the husband entered the room,
and. seeing his worst fears were con-
firmed, produced a revolver and fred on
his wife's lover, inficting severe
wound in the nape of the neck. He then
took to flight, and, returning to his own
house, hanged himself in his bed room.
He was, however, cut down ere life was
extinct, and although he is still in
critical state, his recovery seems proba-
BILE. AS for the cashier, he is lowering
between life and death.

Norauey's Failure.

WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 26.-Premier
Norquey is expected to arrive tomorrow
morning from New York. where he
failed to float the bonds of Winnipeg's
proposed railroad to the United States
boundary to connect with American
lines. Although the people here are
determined to have the line, it is diff
cult to see how construction can pro-
very soon. Norquay claims that while
in New York He was followed by Nc
lavish, special agent of the Canadian
Pacific road, who was the means of pre-
venting capitalists from taking the
bonds. McTavish reached Winnipeg
to-day. If construction has to cease it
is difficult to say what the excited peo-
pie would be led to do, as they firmly
believe that the connection with the
United States is essential to their pros
perity.

He Leaves His Master in New
Mexico and Returns to His For
mer Home.
John Witherspoon, formerly GUS
toms officer in Detroit, retired last
spring and went West with his favorite
dog Duke. Report says they located in
New Mexico, nearly 1900 miles away.
When in Detroit Mr.. Witherspoon re-
sided at 3O2 Porter street. There the
dog was brought up with the children
of the neighborhoOd. They have missed
him sadly and mourned him as forever
gone. The Witherspoons were not
heard from for weeks. Finally letter
came stating, among other things, that
the beloved Duke had suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared and that no
trace of him could be found. 1t trans
pired that the dog loved his old home in
Detroit best, so he abandoned his law
full owner and started to return.
What was the establishment of the
children and people living in the neigh
borhOOd of 302 Porter street few days
ago to see Duke leap the fence he had
so often vaulted, trot up to the house
and lie painting but complacently down
in his fayOrite spot near the door. The
family that now occupies 302 was
strange one to the dog, and if any of
them attempted to drive him away he
showed his teeth and growled in man
ner that soon brought him solitude.
He was not the clean and beautiful
picture that he was formerly. His coat
was shaggy and soiled. He was lean
and emaciated and his toe-nails were
worn down to stubs. His tongue lolled
out long way and he looked hungry
and thirsty but contented and at peace
with all mankind except the strangers
who would drive him away. The dog
is known to have arrived at the destina-
ton with the family, and he has I'M
doubtedly travelled on foot all the way
back from New Mexico.

Insurin @ the Babies.

New York Letter to Troy Budget.
Do you know how many babies-I
mean by that word children over one
year and under twelve-are insured in
this country? There are 100000 such
little ones whose lives are insured for
sums sufficient in most cases merely to
bury them. Four companies carry on
this sort of business in this city alone,
and thrive upon it, too. By the terms
of these companies child cannot be
insured until it is one year old, and the
premium in every case is five cents
week. Those over seven have the priv
ilege of paying ten cents week and
doubling the amount of their policy. If
death claims the child within one year
the holder of the policy receives S14,
and the payments are graded after that
until in the case of child dying In the
twelfth year, S123 is paid. Such a sys-
tenn as this should be of as much benefit
to poor parents as it evidently is to the
companies.

BESSIE DIES OF GRIEF.
Striking Instance of a Dogs At
tachment to Its Dead Mistress.

Striking Instance of Dogs At
tachment to Its Dead Mistress.
Several years ago lady in Carriers
vile, Ca, gave to one of J. T. Owens
children poodle dog, which proved to
be very affectionate creature, and from
its first entering the house it became
very much attached to Mrs. Owen. 1t
was always playful and delighted in
nothing so much as being noticed, re-
ceiying the caresses of visitors as gladly
as child, and gifted with reason.
During the prOtracted illness of Mrs.
Owen the little pet would, at meal
time. go to its mistress to be fed, where
it received its meals regularly from her
hand. During the last few days of Mrs.
OWENS illness, when she was unable to
give it the accustomed attention, it was
noticed even by those who had been
visiting the house that "Bessie" had
lost her spirit of playfulness and looked
detected. When her mistress died,
Bessie took position under the bed,
and when her body was placed in
the coffin, she then changed
her position and remained un-
der the coffin until the remains
were taken from the house. For days
afterwards she chung to that room, lying
in chair beside the bed, and although
she had never been known to get ON
bed before, she would, after the death
OF her mistress, jump ON the bed and
scratch down the cover, evidently hunt
ing for her best and lost friend, refusing
most of the time to eat for days at
time, eating so little that it seemed she
must necessarily die from starvation.
Occasionally she made an effort to rally,
but would in short time relapse into
the same state of gloom and despond-
ency.
For the last few weeks she had al
most entirely abstained from food, until
she became living skeleton. On last
Sunday morning when the family arose
and opened the door, little Bessie
crawled from her comfortable bed on
the back of the piazza and softly crept
into the room of her young mistress and
stretched herself upon the floor under
the foot of the bed and died without
struggle. Her action from the day she
lost her mistress showed plainly that
she was grieving deeply, and called
forth much tender sympathy, and
added grief to those who already had
their load to bear. but who had reason
to support them.

A Great Wonder.

Harper'S Magazine.
There lived near Alexandria, in Vir-
ginia, an old eolored man and woman,
whom their acquaintance called Daddy
and Nanny Williams. He had had
educational advantages, and could read
in a fashion peculiarly his own; but his
wife, although lacking as regards erudi-
which she often displayed in a manner
that was very irritating to her husband.
When she became particularly fractions
Daddy would take the Bible and open
to that chapter in Revelation beginning,
''And there appeared great wonder in
heaven, woman clothed with the sun,
and the moon under feet" etc. ''An'
woman!" Slowly closing the book, he
would gaze sternly at his now subdued
wife, for the passage never failed to
produce the desired effect.

THE OUTCAsT.

She stood in the midst of the jeering crowd
With features dark with seorn,
And eyes defiantIy, boldly proud,
And skirts bedraggled and torn.
And some women prayed and some women
frOwned
And tossed their heads with jerk:
And some men pitied, but more turned round
And laughed at their handiwork.
Deaf alike to both prayer and jeer,
With clenehed hands, alone
She stood, with neither moan nor tear,
As mute as sculptured stone.
When, through the twilight's falling mist,
A child that could scarcely stand
Came forth, and on her clenched fist
He placed his tiny hand.
The fires first Lit by heartless men,
BY thoughtfess women famed,
Were quenched; for the floodgates opened
then
At the touch of baby's hand.

The People Are To Blame.

AnoKa Democrat.
There can be no doubt but that the
exposure made by the s.. Paul GLOBE
and Congressman Wilson, which shows
that the state has been defrauded out of
something like $1,000,00O in railroad
taxes, was an affair in which Pillsbury
q Co.'S, Gov. McGill gave at least a
passive consent. 1t is certainly a de-
plorable sight to thus view the servant
of the people assisting the railroads i'm
their course of swindling. But nothing
better could be expected Of the rail-
roads creature whom a misguided peo-
pie helped to elect last fall. The eleva-
ton of Pillsbury to the Craftsmanship of
the state Republican organization was
direct declaration of the wheat rings
and railroads magnates that they owned
that party and were able to elect their
time servers. The people are to blame,
themselves, for ever allowing such a
political organization to govern them.

Notwithstanding this is an off year in

restrain themselves from making an
occasional play on the state political
board. The gOvernorship seems to be
nearest the hearts of the anxious ones

for the echo is very amusing. Farmer
Gibbs name is being whispered along
the line. 1t is shrewdly intimated that
Knut Nelson will make bid for the
gubernatorial toga and test the popular
ity of the free trade notions as well. A
wink from the eye of Charley Gilman is
construed as evidence of deep-laid po-
litical plots already in the interesting
process of incubation, c. F. Kindred
went fishing with Gov. McGill and it
was asserted that the fish were sailed
down for the next campaign.
